Quantitative genetics theory for genomic selection and efficiency of breeding value prediction in open-pollinated populations

ABSTRACT To date, the quantitative genetics theory for genomic selection has focused mainly on the relationship between marker and additive variances assuming one marker and one quantitative trait locus (QTL). This study extends the quantitative genetics theory to genomic selection in order to prove...
